Polymer interfaces and emulsions

"This resource presents the latest knowledge on a wide range of topics in polymer science, including the dynamics, preparation, application, and physicochemical properties of polymer solutions and colloids; the adsorption characteristics at polymer surfaces; and the adhesion properties (including acid-base) of polymer surfaces."--BOOK JACKET. "Complete with over 1000 references, tables, equations, drawings, photographs, and micrographs, Polymer Interfaces and Emulsions is essential reading for polymer, physical, surface, colloid, and pharmaceutical chemists; plastics, polymer, process, and chemical engineers; materials scientists; physicists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines."--BOOK JACKET.
